A clear next step

Il nostro team ha bisogno di un breve rapporto entro venerdì. Mi occupo dei commenti dei clienti. Chiedo quali siano le due domande più importanti. Fissiamo una chiamata per martedì. Dopo mando un breve riepilogo e confermo che cosa consegnerò.

English meaning

Our team needs a short report by Friday. I am responsible for the customer feedback. I ask which two questions are most important. We arrange a call for Tuesday. After the call, I send a short summary and confirm what I will deliver.

Self-check

Read once, hide the paragraph and answer. Then check the key. This is a practice activity, not a CEFR assessment.

When is the report due?
Show answer
Friday.
What is the narrator responsible for?
Show answer
Customer feedback.
What follows the call?
Show answer
A short summary and confirmation of the deliverable.

Transfer task

Rewrite the situation using your own day, place or preference, then say it aloud without looking.

Reference card

Use Lei forms with adult strangers and in formal interactions, and tu with friends or where invited. Vorrei… is a useful polite request. In the examples, caffè means coffee; specify the drink you want rather than assuming the same café terminology everywhere. Keep doubled consonants and final vowels audible. Regional accents are valid.

Workplace formality depends on the organisation. Start politely, mirror the form of address agreed with the other person, and explicitly confirm task, owner and deadline.
